# GPT Architecture ## GPT-124M Configuration ```python from dataclasses import dataclass @dataclass class GPTConfig: block_size: int = 1024 # Context length vocab_size: int = 50257 # GPT-2 tokenizer n_layer: int = 12 # Transformer blocks n_head: int = 12 # Attention heads n_embd: int = 768 # Embedding dimension dropout: float = 0.0 # No dropout for pretraining bias: bool = False # No bias in linear layers ``` This gives ~124M parameters, matching GPT-2 small. ## Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE) RoPE encodes position by rotating query and key vectors: ```python class RotaryPositionalEmbedding(nn.Module): def __init__(self, dim, max_seq_len=2048, base=10000): super().__init__() inv_freq = 1.0 / (base ** (torch.arange(0, dim, 2).float() / dim)) self.register_buffer("inv_freq", inv_freq) t = torch.arange(max_seq_len) freqs = torch.outer(t, inv_freq) emb = torch.cat((freqs, freqs), dim=-1) self.register_buffer("cos_cached", emb.cos()) self.register_buffer("sin_cached", emb.sin()) def forward(self, seq_len): return self.cos_cached[:seq_len], self.sin_cached[:seq_len] def apply_rotary_emb(q, k, cos, sin): def rotate_half(x): x1, x2 = x[..., :x.shape[-1]//2], x[..., x.shape[-1]//2:] return torch.cat((-x2, x1), dim=-1) q_embed = (q * cos) + (rotate_half(q) * sin) k_embed = (k * cos) + (rotate_half(k) * sin) return q_embed, k_embed ``` ## ReLU² Activation ReLU² (squared ReLU) can work better than GELU: ```python class ReluSquared(nn.Module): def forward(self, x): return F.relu(x).pow(2) class MLP(nn.Module): def __init__(self, config): super().__init__() self.c_fc = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, 4 * config.n_embd, bias=False) self.act = ReluSquared() # or nn.GELU() self.c_proj = nn.Linear(4 * config.n_embd, config.n_embd, bias=False) def forward(self, x): return self.c_proj(self.act(self.c_fc(x))) ``` ## Causal Self-Attention ```python class CausalSelfAttention(nn.Module): def __init__(self, config): super().__init__() self.n_head = config.n_head self.n_embd = config.n_embd self.head_dim = config.n_embd // config.n_head self.c_attn = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, 3 * config.n_embd, bias=False) self.c_proj = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, config.n_embd, bias=False) self.rope = RotaryPositionalEmbedding(self.head_dim, config.block_size) def forward(self, x): B, T, C = x.size() qkv = self.c_attn(x) q, k, v = qkv.split(self.n_embd, dim=2) q = q.view(B, T, self.n_head, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2) k = k.view(B, T, self.n_head, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2) v = v.view(B, T, self.n_head, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2) cos, sin = self.rope(T) q, k = apply_rotary_emb(q, k, cos, sin) # FlashAttention (PyTorch 2.0+) y = F.scaled_dot_product_attention(q, k, v, is_causal=True) y = y.transpose(1, 2).contiguous().view(B, T, C) return self.c_proj(y) ``` ## Complete Baseline Block ```python class Block(nn.Module): def __init__(self, config): super().__init__() self.ln_1 = nn.LayerNorm(config.n_embd) self.attn = CausalSelfAttention(config) self.ln_2 = nn.LayerNorm(config.n_embd) self.mlp = MLP(config) def forward(self, x): x = x + self.attn(self.ln_1(x)) x = x + self.mlp(self.ln_2(x)) return x ``` ## Full GPT Model ```python class GPT(nn.Module): def __init__(self, config): super().__init__() self.config = config self.transformer = nn.ModuleDict(dict( wte=nn.Embedding(config.vocab_size, config.n_embd), drop=nn.Dropout(config.dropout), h=nn.ModuleList([Block(config) for _ in range(config.n_layer)]), ln_f=nn.LayerNorm(config.n_embd), )) self.lm_head = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, config.vocab_size, bias=False) self.transformer.wte.weight = self.lm_head.weight # Weight tying def forward(self, idx, targets=None): x = self.transformer.drop(self.transformer.wte(idx)) for block in self.transformer.h: x = block(x) x = self.transformer.ln_f(x) logits = self.lm_head(x) loss = None if targets is not None: loss = F.cross_entropy(logits.view(-1, logits.size(-1)), targets.view(-1)) return logits, loss ```
